May i take this opurtunity to introduce myself unfortunately my name is Nigel so really i should be on the rover 25 forum. Better news is that ive just purchased an RX7 and will go by my cpu name of avi. (albeit that ive only seen pictures of the car and not seen it in the flesh yet!) OMG i here u say, but im told im in good hands as its a reputable dealer of imports and also has a 12 month warranty.
Im just gagging to see how quick she is, as my fastest motor to date was a lardy 2wd calibra turbo. The cars getting a full service, valet, dyno and tune before i take delivery hopefully next Monday.
Oh forgot to say its a 93 fresh import in red and apparently running 360bhp. Its had around £4k of goodies fitted, but thats not too much i suppose when a full suspension costs a grand!
Anyways been reading through most of the posts for the last few days and you all seem to be considerably more helpful than a lot i have been on.
So heres to hopefully a long and lasting friendship to you, the site and hopefully the car! :guinness
welcome aboard matey
Now all you need to do is drop £25 to MRC and become a full supporting member :D ( yeah i know - shamless dig at becoming a member )
May you FD bring a smile to your face every time you drive
and be amazed at the fuel guage going in the opposite direction of the rev counter :D
Stu :D :D :D
:wave hello , you\'ve come to the best place for advice and freindly chat .who\'s imported your car for you ? do you have any pictures you can post? hope it all goes well for you.

Wahoo its worked! if you look close (ish) the front bumper is a slightly darker shade of red, apparently the bloke is getting this sorted before i get it. Now i can do these piccy things heres the other 2:

looks good ,what extras does it have?
Heres the copy and pasted sales description:
ONLY 44,000 miles, HKS double clutch, HKS Induction Kit, HKS F-CON V PRO ECU, HKS hard pipes, HKS injection control, HKS turbo timer, Tanabe SS exhaust, big brake conversion, Cusco coilover suspension, ARC Intercooler, bonnet vents, new Volks CE28 alloys with Yokohama GP Tyres, TRUST boost controller, late model rear spoiler and front lip, immaculate condition.
I did pay 7k for it, but it has got a years warranty which i think will be worth a bit on it.
2wd Calibra turbo? What happened to the other 2 wheels?
Quote2wd Calibra turbo? What happened to the other 2 wheels?
The same as all the other Calibras, they drove out the factory and the transfer boxes instantly self destructed. lol
So do you think i will be happy with the acceleration? as this is mainly what im hoping for?
You will be very happy, just be careful otherwise you won\'t be happy :chat
i\'ve only got an fc but that puts a smile on my face when i drive it :burnout yours should be :D :D :D :D
Cant wait! but as gman has pointed out i gotta be very very careful or it will bite me!
Hi mate
Welcome to the joys of rx7 ownership(apart from the huge fuel bills).
Car looks tidy,like the wheels and the wing.
Take it steady.
Don\'t forget to join up.
Cheers
Pete
nice looking car mate`y and welcome. how come i cant post pictures :mad:
looks great, good luck and be careful dude ! (speaking from experience :-( )
I agree, I\'ve had a few slippery moments but nothing to worry about at the time!! but as everyone has said, take it easy & don\'t try breaking the seriouse damage record of 8 hours after collection!!!!
Hope you enjoy the car and the company it brings...... I have and it makes the fuel bill worth while!!!
Jono

Mark - think it takes a day or so then all will be available matey. If not let us know :yes
Thanks for putting up those pictures. I was thinking about how my car would look if I painted the centre console and dash red, and now I know!
Not a problem gonzoninja, so are you going to paint yours or does it look crap! lol
Personally I like the centre console red, not sure about the dash though.
You\'ll love it, but like the guys say, watch it especially first time out. I nearly lost it taking it home from Newera. But what a drive home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi
Welcome to the club.
Nice RX and nice mods. Be careful - all that power in wet will easily spin the car 360"
Do not accelerate too much when taking corners in wet..
Regards,
Michaelb

I just read through the other newbie thread who smacked his motor up within 8 hours, sorry to hear it of course! Im gonna be soooooooooo careful. With some will power i will only be going out in the dry as i can appreciate how (fun) dangerous it could be in the wet.
